"It is a very long run, but still a long way to go."

     Sometimes, I doubt myself and ask; "Do I really know who am I?" Growing up, I didn't make time to know my interests and talents. As a result, I never joined extracullicular activities during my elementary days. All I do is to study, nothing more, nothing less. So, now that I am in highschool, I told my self that I will take the risk to know what I really want to do.

     I can say that I am introvert and shy person, so I'm thinking some things that matches my energy. I tried drawing, but it isn't for me. I tried playing badminton, and again, it's not for me. Until when I was in grade 9, one of my teachers (Filipino teacher) introduced us what journalism is all about and asking if there were any student who are interested, knowing what it is, I didn't hesitate to try. I trained editorial writing until I won 2nd place in our school, and joined DSPC but I losed as a first timer, but atleast I discovered one of my talents.

     Other than writing, I also love to cook. Cooking makes me calm and it reduces my stress. I also do ride a bike, but not on far places, I just do biking to relax my mind and to unwind. I am interested in crafting and designing things. I also love flowers, especially carnations. Atlast, I like to spend my time with my family.

     Writing this journal made me realize how far I've become. From a shy kid who's scared to try something new to a girl who loves to discover herself. Throughout this journey, I told myself that it is ok to fail, the important thing is I tried and took the challenge. I do not fully know myself yet, but as I will try to explore, I will, soon. After all, it's either tale the risk or lose the chance.
